In The Tomorrow Series, by John Marsden, there are seven books.
-Tomorrow, when the war began
-The Dead of the Night
-The Third day, the Frost
-Darkness, be my friend
-Burning for Revenge
-The Night is for Hunting
-The Other side of Dawn.
The Tomorrow Series details a high-intensity invasion and occupation of Australia by a foreign power. The novels are told in first person perspective by the main character, a teenager called Ellie Linton, who is part of a small group of teenagers waging a war on the enemy soldiers in their hometown of Wirrawee. The name of the series is from the title of the first book, Tomorrow, When The War Began.
The series consists of seven books, published from 1994 to 1999 by Pan Macmillan and has been reprinted sixteen times. It is also available as a digital edition.
The invading nation is never specified in the books; in fact, no nation in the world meets the criteria laid out in the series by intent of the author. Likewise, no parts of the war outside Ellie’s immediate perspective are covered, the reader is not informed exactly how much of the country is under enemy control, or how well the war is going for the Australian military. This was Marsden’s intention, given that the series focuses on the characters more than the actual war, and is an accurate reflection of how Ellie and her friends are isolated and cut off from outside communication.
The Dead of The Night
It’s tough surviving in Hell. But sometimes Hell can be a haven. Australia has been invaded. Nothing is as it was. Six teenagers are living out their nightmare in the sanctuary of a hidden valley, making their own rules, protecting what’s theirs, struggling for courage in a world changed forever. But sometimes courage demands too high a price…
The Third Day, the frost
What’s the biggest danger you can think of? This is bigger. What’s the toughest challenge you can imagine? This is tougher. What’s the greatest fear you have? You’re about to find out.
Darkness, Be My Friend
That’s what war does for you. Either kills you in one hit, or destroys you slowly. One way or the other, it gets you. Unless you fight back.
Burning for Revenge
You look behind-there’s nothing but smoke. Ahead of you the future has just burst into flames. Your life is on fire. The world’s an inferno. Your burning… with passion and fear, with love and rage. You’re burning for Revenge
The Night is for Hunting
They are the enemy. And they’re still out there. They’re in your street, your home, the safest places you know. You feel their hot breath… even in the depths of Hell. Ellie and Homer are out there too. Lee and Fi and Kevin. They’ve forgotten what it means to be safe. Sometimes they feel like there’s nowhere left for them. They may be right.
The Other Side of Dawn
With a roar like a train in a tunnel, the war enters its final days. Ellie has to be on that train. There’s no more sitting around, no more waiting. There’s only fast decision’s, fast action, fast thinking. And she’d better get it right. With all their being, Ellie and her friends want to stay alive. But there’s a war out there. And it has to be won.
My own book in the series- Attacking the invaders Attacking the invaders looks at New Zealands attacks on the invading force and individual heroes who help fight for Australia. The main characters are four mates from christchurch, Daniel, Iain, Taylor and Jayden. They experience loss of life and the great successes of a few different missions throughout Australia's East coast.
